Au martin bleu - Tours

Arrived at 7pm we did book as read previous reviews seems a must or you'll miss out. Thank god we did not one spare seat in the place after 8:30pm. Menu is written in French , being Australian my French not too fluent so we slowly worked our way through deciphering best we could. We went for 31€ menu. Waiter was a fantastic help did his best to get our order in with minimal English but we could understand basics. All courses ordered were truly the best choices. Entree -scallops just divine , smoked salmon and snails weren't bad either. Cabernet sauce with snails quiet rich serve was bigger than expected. Mains we had Angus beef it was stunning along with the fish dish , catfish in a Berre sauce and steamed veg. We had no room left for desert 2 courses was just enough. Service was outstanding with 2 waiters running a full restaurant this included the owner , chef Florent Martin himself personally taking orders and serving food such a nice touch to see. Would totally recommend Au Martin Bleu it's a great restaurant , Michelin star totally deserved you won't be disappointed!!

Went here on a business trip and the food is outstanding. Cooked almost in front of your eyes and very, very tasty. The fish is 'to die for' and prepared superbly so that it melts in your mouth.Not cheap but for the quality it is great value.Good service too!

Great little restaurant slightly away from the main restaurants. Great selection of French food presented and served well. 2 courses €30 euros

The 31 euro menu was good value for money, my smoked salmon starter served with beetroot hummus was excellent and there was loads of it. The Foie starter was also outstanding. We both had Steak with Bleu D'auvergne served with Dauphinoise potatoes for main course, perfectly cooked and tender, not like your average French Entrecote experience. Refreshing Nougat Parfait with raspberry coulis was a great way to end the meal. The service was very good, very little English spoken but we got by. The only negative was that the wine we were recommended was very expensive, 37 euro and it really didn't blow our minds. Overall highly recommended and much less touristy than the places in Place Plummerau.

Great food, close to "fine dining". Reasonable prices considering quality. No menu in English and the waiters only have a little, so you really need to understand and be able to translate the basics.
